Consider any differentiable-in-quadratic-mean path with score function . Put , where . The quadratic-mean to L1 density derivative follows fromBy the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality,Since is a bounded function, multiplying this L1 norm bound by provesThe last equality uses . The derivative is a bounded linear functional of , so the required pathwise differentiability of a statistical functional holds, in particular relative to the statistical tangent set from part (b). Its derivative isFor the explicit bounded density tilts in part (b), this derivative is also obtained by direct integration, with no remainder term.
